*Disclaimer – I was given a review copies of Cozy Mystery Empire, Cozy Mystery Empire OTO 1 (Writing Prompts), and Cozy Mystery Empire OTO 2 (Detective Stories For Kids).
Alessandro Zamboni and Sara Shah have just released a new course product, Cozy Mystery Empire, containing helpful information on how to write cozy mysteries.
Cozy mysteries have actually been around a long time, but the term *cozy mystery* is itself relatively new. Basically, it’s a category for mystery books where there’s no blood and gore, no adult situations, no violence – but rather a good clean mystery involving a murder.

I grew up watching Murder She Wrote and loved it. It was a clean show with Jessica Fletcher being the amateur sleuth who solved mysteries. You might have read the Agatha Christie novels (Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot).
Cozy mysteries are growing in popularity. Readers love cozy mystery books! These readers will constantly want new stories to read. As fast as they read one book, they’re ready for another.

One might ask why readers love cozy mystery books so much. There are a couple reasons that I can think of – they love a good mystery where they learn clues and they can try to figure out who did it, and the story is clean… without the adult situations and violence. A good cozy mystery can take us back to a different time, to a good clean interesting story, making us think as we try to solve the mystery.
